2017 movie, The Shape of Water, has been alleged of
plagiarism and stealing content from other works now. The play it allegedly stole from was over 50 years old. This is happened right before Oscar voting.
The film had a budget that was fairly low at $20 million dollars. It performed very weakly in the box office and made $54 million in the US, which was far more then they paid for it. So it regained it's loses and did a good job. It performed well below analyst predictions. It has won a handful of awards including the best film by the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. The British Film Academy also gave it the best film of 2017.
